"Oh, For a Heart to Praise My God..."

"Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
 a heart from sin set free;
 a heart always feels Thy blood
 so freely shed for me:
 

A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
 my great Redeemer's throne;
 where only Christ is heard to speak,
 where Jesus reigns alone:
 

A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
 believing, true, and clean,
 which neither life nor death can part

from Him that dwells within:
 

A heart in every thought renewed,
 and full of love divine;
 perfect and right and pure and good —
 a copy, Lord, of Thine.
 

Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
 come quickly from above;
 write Thy new name upon my heart,
 Thy new best name of Love."

-Charles Wesley
